[FONT=&quot]Home #2[/FONT][FONT=&quot] at 879 Blue Mountain Road provides a unique 360 degree view of natural coastal waters as it majestically sits along 487 feet of Gulf frontage and 688 feet of Big Redfish Lake. The 6,743 square foot private estate was inspired by the architectural designs of Greene & Greene, the company that defined the Arts and Crafts movement in the United States. True to this form, Florida Haus architects Cheryl Troxel and Ty Nunn took special care that the design of the main house and the 1,613 square foot guest house coaxed the coast indoors. Some of the home?s special features include a floating mahogany staircase, stained glass windows and doors, a gourmet kitchen and a five-room master suite.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Home #3[/FONT][FONT=&quot] at 46 Majestica Circle in Seagrove Beach is a custom home full of warmth, charm and artistic detail from all around the world. Italian glass tiles fill the floor of the entryway giving the perception of walking on water, and Italian crushed glass makes up the kitchen island counter top. Hand-painted tiles are featured throughout the house, including multi-colored Austrian tiles in the master bath. Many of the home?s walls, sinks and showers are graced with hand painted art, and local art fills the home. This is an all electronic ?Smart House? that features a home theater, sauna, steam room and full gym.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Home #4[/FONT][FONT=&quot] is the ?Art House,? located at 1 Pleasant Avenue in the green township of Prominence. In addition to showcasing its artistic design and modern and luxurious amenities, this three-story, 3,831 square foot home will serve as an exhibit for local fine artwork, a new addition to the Valentine Tour of Homes. Designed by South Carolina architect Bob Ellis, this fortified town home was finished with travertine and teak flooring, a private elevator, picture molding, a custom kitchen, stone flooring and showers, over 500 square feet of outdoor living area, two master suites, Smart Home technology and Energy Star/Energy Wise certification. The Prominence development team is dedicated to building a town that is green sensitive with minimal maintenance while strong enough to withstand the elements.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Home #5[/FONT][FONT=&quot] is located in the beautiful neo-traditional town of Rosemary Beach. 32 Abaco Lane sits on a secluded park, hidden away in a private setting on the south side of 30-A with a plunge pool situated in the courtyard between the 4,200 square foot main house and the quaint guest house. Black dead head cypress woods have been milled into the kitchen, wet bar and entry bath. Chicago brick and ebonized maple hardwood floors, along with designer fabrics and exquisite yet comfortable furnishings add texture and history to this five bedroom masterpiece. This home is a fine example of the town?s commitment to establish character and ensure integrity of the New Urbanist Town Plan. As are all the homes in Rosemary Beach, this residence is architecturally unique and custom designed yet an inextricable part of the town?s fabric.[/FONT]
